CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

 

CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

 

SAD to say=we live

In a world where we

Are CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

We are=always on trial

 

“For the accuser

Of our brothers= is CAST OUT

 

Who accuses them

Before our God=day and night”                                                                                              Revelation 12:10

 

We LIVE in a world

With a lot of crime

WAY TOO MUCH

 

Much of our SOCIETY

Is OBSESSED with courtroom trials

Some murder trial-

Some corporate misconduct

 

We watch them on TELEVISION

On live stream

And read the newspapers

 

But it is a SHAME

That each one of us

And our behavior

Are CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

 

But the TRUTH Is=

It doesn’t matter

What others SAY=about us

The VERDICT belongs to God

And Jesus=it is what they say

That is=THE FINAL WORD

 

“We sent Timothy=who

Is our brother=and co-worker

In God’s service=in spreading

The gospel of Christ

 

To strengthen and encourage you

IN your faith=so that no one

Would be unsettled

IN THESE TRIALS”                                                                                                                     1 Thessalonians 3:2-3

 

“Consider it pure joy

My brothers and sisters=

Whenever you FACE TRIALS

Of many kinds

 

Because you know that

The testing of your faith

Produces perseverance”                                                                                                          James 1:2-3

 

“……..if this is so

Then the Lord knows=

How to rescue

 

The godly FROM TRIALS=

And to hold the unrighteous

For punishment=on the day of judgment”                                                                               2 Peter 2:9

 

It is a shame=that others

AND THE EVIL ONE

Come after us

In this life

 

The devil comes with TEMPTATIONS

And pretends

To be our friend

 

But fortunately for us=

We have a STRONGER GOD

Who is always OUR ADVOCATE

And in our corner

 

“And I will ask the Father

And he will give you=ANOTHER ADVOCATE

 

To help you=and be

With you forever-------

The Spirit of truth”                                                                                                                John 14:16

 

So even though

We are=CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

Jesus is a=STRONGER ADVOCATE=for us

 

He is the ULTIMATE DEFENSE ATTORNEY

In this world=it is true

We are=CONSTANTLY ON TRIAL

 

But the VERDICT IS INNOCENT

If we live=in his love

He has ALREADY=paid the price

 

In Jesus’ name=and the name=of our FOREVER LOVING=Holy Father God!
